The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) will win 57% of the votes in the 2016 general election, Majority leader in Parliament, Alban S.K Bagbin has predicted.
Speaking at the NDC 2016 election manifesto launch at the Sunyani Coronation Park in the Brong Ahafo Region, Mr. Bagbin said the governing party’s achievements over the years under President John Mahama are remarkable for all to see.
According to him, this enviable performance in infrastructural development and social intervention programmes, will earn President Mahama a second term in office after the December polls.
“With a galaxy of such messengers, our parliamentary candidates, led by an accomplished Presidential candidate, John Mahama; I am more than confident that NDC will win with a large margin. The 57% target I want to assure all of you is achievable, yet we need to work hard, no complacency and we have to be vigilant on the election day.”
However, Alban Bagbin who is also the Member of Parliament for Nadowli-Kaleo indicated target was only achievable if supporters worked hard without being complacent.
He said he was confident the party will win at least two-thirds of the seats in Ghana’s Parliament.
According to him, the NDC will retain its majority by winning 184 seats after the December 7 elections, as against its current 148.
